More about Yehoshua
- 13 years' experience

- LSCSW, LCSW, LICSW
I am a Qualified Mental Health Practitioner with over 15 years experience . While working towards my Clinical license as a Social Worker the focus of my practice was in Geriatric Psych. I primarily worked with Seniors age 60 years and over. After getting my Clinical level license I began to work with outpatient adults in a community mental health center whose ages ranged from 5 years old to 80 plus. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is an eclectic. I employ multiple theories and techniques in order to meet the specific needs of my patients. Today my practice focuses on the treatment of Anxiety and Depression. The tag line in the advertisements for my private practice reads, "Helping you put the pieces of the puzzle together since 2019." This has been and continues to be my passion. If you're feeling confused and stalled let me help. I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I might be yours; Taste and see!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is a person with a great heart
Great talker, listener and clearly has the experience to support whatever journey you are on in life. I highly recommend!
Dr. O is insightful and not only listens but comprehends my objectives. Would highly recommend to give him the opportunity to help you as he has helped me better navigate the issues in life.
Dr. O had big shoes to fill when I started using better help but he stepped right into those shoes and continues to amaze.
He is very helpful and listens to everything you have to say. He does a great job of helping your individual needs. 10/10 recommend.
He’s great. Listens. Has great ideas to help with my anxiety.
10/10
Easy to talk too and very understanding
Dr. Othniel is a wonderfully gifted man. His peaceful interactions always left me in a better place than when I showed up. I appreciate when my counselor engages me with storytelling, and his stories are full of wisdom that cut to the core of humanity. I found myself looking forward to our conversations leading into every session. You will not regret time with this man.
I enjoy my time with Dr. O!
He’s pretty great and very attentive
He’s very understanding, great listener, let me ramble on and on with healthy direction, ha ha so I appreciate being heard by him
Great listener. And through his stories (which he calls rabbit holes) I have gain much knowledge and wisdom. I can’t wait to continue my journey with Obie Wan (Dr. O. )
